Ive managed to mount the shared partition from my networked windows machine on my linux system, and it mounts by means of a script run from rc.local on startup. However, i can only write to it as root. The permissions of /mnt/remote is drwxr-xr-x. I tried chmodding to 777 but it seems to reset to the above whenever its mounted. I think it changes to the permissions set up in fstab, but what should i put in fstab to allow write permission to the current user?

I added this to fstab but i just sorta guessed what to put in, needless to say it doesnt work

Thanks.

Got it, cheers anyway!

Just a suggestion you can take the username and password out of fstab...
in the file put..

create a file in etc or wherever call it whatever you want...
in the file put...

username = whateveritis
password = whateveritis

save it
chmod it 600
In fstab where you have username and password...put

credentials=/whereever/you/saved/the/file

Thanks for the suggestion, i think ill use that method.

Cheers.
